Ep 249: Making Kentucky 31 Fescue Work—and What It Teaches About Grazing Management w/ Dr. Harley Naumann

from Working Ranch Radio Show · host Justin Mills

Kentucky 31 fescue—for some it’s tolerated, for others it’s hated. This week, Dr. Harley Naumann with the University of Missouri joins us to talk about how to manage Kentucky 31 fescue and make it work in a year-round grazing system. From avoiding toxicity to stocking rate, forage diversity, and matching cattle to available feed, the focus is on building a system that works—not just for ranchers in the fescue belt, but for operations everywhere. Plus, we look at the latest data on preconditioning calves and where it’s adding value in today’s market. #workingranchmagazine #WorkingRanchRadio #ranching #cattle #cowcalf #foragemanagement #ranchprofitability #grazingmanagement #rotationalgrazing #pasturemanagement #fescue #kentucky31 #stockingrate #foragediversity #preconditioning #cattlehealth #Cargill #Altosid #PrimeVac #Limousin #NoFence #TankToad #Gelbvieh
